Prolink H9601 Modem in Linux

Prolink H9601 sold by SLT(Sri Lanka Telecom) to their ADSL users did not have linux support with it.I, after many months of searching, trying, and experimenting found out the solution for it. This answer was first posted by me on LinuxQuestions.org,Ubuntu forums, and Elakiri forums.The first solutions had some problems and also amateur users could not understand properly.Also in this mehthod you dont have to keep entering eciadsl-start it normally connets on the first try.Therefore i will now post the improved version here.

Enter command : sudo ./go-gui (after this command pppoe client is compiled and started.close the window that appears after compilation)

2.Configure the drivers

1. Enter sudo eciadsl-config-text in a terminaland select the first option (configure all settings).

Enter the information given below when asked.(Please note that the information given below are for SLT. If have a different isp ask them for the parameters typed in bold.Remenber to type the username and password given by your ISP.)

Hi,This is for all of you who complain that this does not work in Ubuntu 10.04 and later. This will NOT work in all flavours of ubuntu (ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu, ...) after 10.04 Lucid Lynx because the kernel module usbdevfs is not included. You can either try to re-compile the kernel with the module or try another distro.
